Chamberlain Chats.

WASHINGTON, November 18.-Joseph
Chamberlain, of the British fisheries
commissioners, gave an audience this
evening to about twenty newspaper
men. Chamberlain was understood 70
say, at one point, that the purpose of
the commission was to make an entirely
new treaty, the existing treaty having
proved unsatisfactory, but upon further
inquiry, especially as to whether an in =
terpretatiJn of the existing treaty might
not be found which would meet the
views of both sides, he became nom
eommittal, beyond the point of admit
ting that such might be the possible
outcome of the conference. He thought
it unlikely that the subject of COM
mercial union with Canada would come
before the commission in any way.
There was scarcely shadow of doubt
that any arrangement agreed to by the
British Commissioners would be held
binding by their government.

and her five children visited Emperor
William this afternoon.
As the Gear and Prince William were
driving through Koenig Platz, man
threw a paper into the CARR age in
which they were riding. The occur

element among the onlookers. The
Gar took the paper, and, without open
ing it, placed it under his cloak. The
man who threw it is a stranger in Ber-
lin. He was Immediately seized by the
police.
Later, while the imperial party were

Bismarck and his wife and Count Her
bert Bismarck were present. together
with many diplomats. The Gear aud
Czarina sat on ether side of Emperor

placed first below the royalties. Dur
ing the dinner, Emperor William arose,
and, lifting his glass, proposed, in few
words, the health of the Car, the
whole company standing.
The Gar and party left Berlin for st.
Petersburg at $50 this evening.
Prince Bismarck visi ed the Gar at
the Embassy at o'clock, and after
ward received General Tcherevin, the

Forest fires are burning at many

been raging on the bills and on the
bottoms of the Red and Sulphur
Rivers, near Texarkana, sweeping
everything before them, tapping up
the cane brakes, where thou
sands of cattle have been feeding for
months, visiting farms, and leaving in
their track the blackened ruins of
homes, fencing and outhouses. All the
available men are employed in fighting
the progress of the flames. Large num-
bers of cattle and hogs have been
caught in the flames and destroyed

Tipping In Decline.

1t is reputed as fact that feeling, or
tipping is fast on the decline at ho-
tells in England. IN certain places signs
and placards request the traveller not to
pay gratuities and that all charges are
included in the regular bill land without
doubt they areD. Americans travelling
in England have undoubtedly brought
about this movement by tipping" so
much more extravagantly than the
natives that the latter, becoming I'M
equal to the emergency, feel obliged to
put the quietus on the feeling business.
1t is to be hoped that the reform will
spread to other parts of the earth

Wilson Resigned.

PARIS, November is. 1t is rumored
that III. Wilson has resigned his seat.
Mr.. Wilson testified before the COM
mission to-day, that NJ. SeIlleres' check
was a subscription to his paper, the
Petite France. and that he had no bust
ness relations with .Seilleres. Wilson
admitted, however, that he sup
ported the demands for a con-
cession to the Compagnie des
Charbouneges, which have since become
bankrupt, in whose books sut scription
of 1000 francs to the Petite France is
noted as paid for Wilson's good offices.
He said he had advised decorations for
the contractors who built his mansion,
but they we're first class men and that
at the request of Count D'Andlau he
advised cross for ayenuel. Madame
Terderne denies Rochefort's assertion
that she bribed Wilson.

She Loved the Weed .t1o1.

MARION, Ills, November I. Mrs.
Elizabeth Hendrickson, residing six
miles northeast of this city, reached
her 101st birthday to-day. One year
ago she celebrated her centennial, and
her children. grandchildren, great
grandchildren and great-great-grand
children gathered from several States
to see her. She is more sprightly to-
day than she was year ago, and walks
about her room when she pleases. She
is an inveterste smoker, and has used
the weed since she was 20 years of age.
There is no doubt about her age. and
she is certainly the oldest person in
southern Illinois. Her eyesight is not
nrst rate and she is somewhat ema-
ciated. Her memory, too, is not very
good. Outside of these defects she is
remarkably hale for one of such ex-

Refussd Admission to the Bar

New YORK, November 18.-The gen
eral term of the Supreme Court, to-day,
refused to admit Hong Yen Chang. a
young Chinaman, as a member of the
bar, he having passed examination.
When he presented himself for examin-
alton he made affidavit that he was a
resident of this State and had applied
to the United States District Court to
be made citizen. He is graduate Of
the Columbia College law school.
He was refused on the ground that
the existing laws forbade the natural
ization of Chinese subjects. Chang had
an act for his relief passed by the last
Legislature. The act reads: The gen.
eral term of the first department of the
Supreme Court is hereby authorized to
waive the alienage of Hong Yen Chang
a native of China and now resident Of
the City of New York, and
to regularly admit and license him to
practice, on his passing in
a satisfactory manner the usual exam
ination for the admission of attorneys
and counsellors."
Justice Van Brunt. in speaking of the
case, said the Legislature cannot COM
pei a court to do anything they have no
right to do. He added that subsequent
to the refusal to admit Chang, he had
filed the citizens papers granted by
Judge Van Haesen, on the 18th inst.
and the general term will now have to
consider the parers. He has been of the
opinion that since Congress passed the
act relating to Chinese subjects none
could be naturalized. Chang is grad
uate of the Yale and of the Columbia
law schools.
